Plane fill only manual reshaping

hello there,

I came form other ECAD tool that when I make or reshape a copper polygon, the fill is automatically refreshed, and I’m able to see what did. In Kicad it seems is not possible to have this, I’m correct or I miss something else?

In Kicad it seems is not possible to have this, I’m correct?

You are correct, in the current stable version (v6.0.x) you have to recalculate all zones manually after a modification.

For the upcoming kicad-version (v7, probably next year) a feature for automatic zone recalculation is implemented. You can experiment with this function already in the current nightly-development-version. Set checkbox for setting: Preferences–>PCB-Editor–>Editing-options–>Auto-refill zones.

Ok thank you very much!

The shortcut to recalculate a zone is the key B

ok, not so bad if it has a shortcut. Thanks!
